Introduction to Water Futures

Toowoomba City Council (TCC) has a vision for the city that brings together the social, economic and environmental issues that our community values. Over the next decade projects such as the second range crossing, the inland rail, Charlton Wellcamp Industrial Estate, Quarry Gardens, urban expansion and the Water Futures Project will make Toowoomba a much sought after destination in terms of lifestyle and business opportunities.

Supporters Book

Chris Smith, Sydney: Why not recycle water for those who voted "yes" and turn off the water supply for "no" voters. Let's see how long they will go without water. Oh yeah, great fallback plan from the "no" fear team - NOTHING!! But I'm sure it will rain some day...

I feel sorry for the mayor and supporters - some people with vision who have been shot down by fear. Unfortunately we face the same fate in Sydney...

Water Use By Sector

By far the largest portion of Toowoomba's water consumption is by our residential customers. Combined, houses, flats and home units use 70.6% of Toowoomba's water, while industry use is equal to only 6% of commercial consumption, or 1% of Toowoomba's total water use.

Supporter's Book

A. Marks, Toowoomba: I'm a 17 year old student, so I'm not quite old enough to vote. However, the recycled water project has really inspired me. I have chosen to support the recycled water project through a panel discussion in my English class at school. I believe that the 'no' campaign has based their arguments on emotions and fears rather than facts. Even though I won't be able to vote, I hope that I am able to influence others to consider supporting this safe, sustainable water supply.
